Carrier didn’t collect proper taxes on some wireless plans for nearly a decade, New York attorney general says

Sprint Corp. will pay $330 million as part of a settlement with the New York state attorney general for failing to collect adequate state and local taxes on some of its wireless calling plans.

The settlement is the largest ever garnered by a single state under a false claims act, Attorney General Barbara Underwood’s office said Friday. Sprint “knowingly failed to collect and remit” more than $100 million in state and local taxes for nearly a decade on some of its wireless plans, state officials said.
